Houston and SouthEast Asia

Hey there everybody! How is everyone today? Its me the 7YearOldHippie. I hope everyone's week has been amazing. I have been hanging out with friends and going to music shows. I have also been watching the news and keeping up with current events going on in Houston.

I want to wish my best for the cities and people affected by Hurricane Harvey.  I have friends in the Houston area so I have been praying for everyone's well being. I have also been hearing that there is currently wide spread devastation in Southeast Asia due to flooding and heavy rainfall. I would like to offer my prayers for them as well. Their situation is not on the news as much but it does not make it less important. I hope everyone is able to surpass their current situation and be okay again.

I would also like to ask everyone to find ways to help the people in these situations. One thing I would recommend is to donate money or supplies to charitable organizations. Many towns have local drives currently going on. It doesn't have to be a big donation every little bit helps. Also if you find yourself able to donate time please do so it is invaluable.

Thoughts on the SNES

Hey there everybody! How is everyone today? Its me the 7YearOldHippie. I hope everyone's weekend was amazing Mine was awesome I spent all of Saturday relaxing at a lake at an elevation of 13000ft. It was a nice time and I took a good nap. Today I would like to discuss the freaking SNES MINI.  
                                        
First of all what the Hell? I thought Nintendo stopped the production of the NES mini so they could produce more SNES minis. Now it looks like that was a lie because we sold out like in a literal minute. I understand tons of people want these guys but I feel like Nintendo kind of dropped the ball by not making more. Now I guess I'll have to wait to buy it from scalpers on Ebay who will sell it to me for $300. I know its not that big a problem but I guess its just slightly disheartening.

Solar Eclipses and Thoughts

Hey there everybody! How is everyone today? Its me the 7YearOldHippie. How was everybody's weekend. Mine was fantastic went on a pretty good hike and went to the Crystal Mill at Crystal City by Marble Colorado. It was an especially nice hike cause it was my birthday so it was pretty relaxing. I also saw the Solar Eclipse today and it was awesome.  I used one of the UV filter screens so I could protect my eyes. I hope everyone was able to safely view the eclipse using screens or protective lenses. There is no need to hurt our eyes when we have readily available technology to help us.
 `                             
While the Eclipse was amazing (as all natural events are) that is not the thing I want to talk about today. I would like to mention something that occurred to me last week. I own one of those fake robotic Persian cats. The ones that look slightly realistic and are fluffy.        

                                      
Anyway, I like to keep this toy perched by a window at my house. I do this because I like how he looks when you see him from the outside. I've noticed something strange however, other real cats come to my house and like to meow at the window. I think they're trying to get the attention of my cat. The problem is my cat isn't real so it can't play or notice them. I've been wondering if that makes the other cats feel bad like they were snubbed. I hope not. Then I began to wonder about us as humans and how often we get despondent when someone slights us. I wonder how many of those times actually had nothing to do with us, but we chose to take it personally. I guess what I am trying to get at is we should not take things so personally. Many of the things that happen to us have nothing to do with us. And our relationships have as much to do with other peoples personal baggage as much as it has to do with ours. This just my personal thoughts, on the matter I know I have no experience with relationships and I am the last person in the world qualified to give relationship advice.

Longboarding in the mountains

Hey there everybody! How is everyone today? Its me the 7YearOldHippie. How was everybody's weekend. Mine was fantastic went on a pretty good hike and climbed a fourteen-er (also known as Conundrum Peak), However that is not what I am her to talk to you about today. I am here to discuss the subject of longboarding.
                      
I went longboarding today and it was a ton of fun. I used to skateboard a lot as a kid and I am trying to get back into the board sports. I thoroughly enjoyed it and found it exhilarating. It was not too hard to get into but I used to skateboard when I was smaller so that probably helped out. Honestly I would recommend everyone give it a go its a fun way to get around. Longboards are not that expensive as mine only ran me about $100. I know it can be hard to get into new activities as we get older but we should not let that stop us. Life is about motion and trying new things even if they are scary.
